yes, how dare people make their own scotch. LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 25/01/2010 05:14:58 PM
and how DARE they make it better?!?!?

I'm sorry, but if they're making the product taste the same (if not better), then I hardly see how it is "freeloading". If anything, those manufacturers probably work TWICE as hard to live up to the Scotch name.

I was actually reading something about the whiskys Asia was churning out - 25/01/2010 03:20:30 PM 368 Views
It's a protected label in the EU - 25/01/2010 03:47:29 PM 525 Views
I still haven't decided if I approve of protected labels. - 25/01/2010 04:41:45 PM 443 Views
Normally it would be a trade mark - 25/01/2010 04:56:59 PM 356 Views
No, I am not missing that. - 25/01/2010 05:02:04 PM 329 Views

So then if a Scotch Whisky is made in Scotland... - 25/01/2010 05:32:42 PM 469 Views
But the Taiwanese brand doesn't meet the standards for Scotch. - 25/01/2010 05:54:43 PM 353 Views
I mean the standards of taste and quality - 25/01/2010 06:52:10 PM 351 Views
But that's not really the point, is it? - 25/01/2010 07:33:00 PM 327 Views
There's nothing snobby about protecting a brand which makes a lot of money for your country. - 25/01/2010 04:03:45 PM 507 Views
I didn't say that it was snobby to do that. - 25/01/2010 04:27:57 PM 386 Views

You still get my point. - 25/01/2010 04:53:33 PM 318 Views
Why should they have to label it that? - 25/01/2010 04:59:13 PM 352 Views
Because Scotch indicates a type of Whisky, not ONLY its location. - 25/01/2010 05:09:09 PM 347 Views
There is, as far as I'm aware, nothing stopping them from doing that. - 25/01/2010 05:13:14 PM 354 Views
And see, there's a difference in my mind. - 25/01/2010 05:18:33 PM 354 Views
I guess so - 25/01/2010 05:21:19 PM 366 Views
I so knew someone was going to say something along those lines 9_9 - 25/01/2010 05:35:59 PM 352 Views
Now you have egg on your face - 26/01/2010 11:30:31 AM 340 Views
You also should add that it is protecting the consumer - 25/01/2010 04:34:22 PM 345 Views
again, though, there's no need to be rude - 25/01/2010 04:42:27 PM 349 Views
I imagine so - 25/01/2010 04:58:40 PM 362 Views
yes, how dare people make their own scotch. - 25/01/2010 05:14:58 PM 352 Views
They moved to Scotland to make it then? - 25/01/2010 05:20:10 PM 348 Views
